What Are They Saying?

Retailers
I ran a full page ad in two consecutive issues of Hawaii Skin Diver to closeout Casio S.S. Dive Watches. I eventually sold 170 watches at $120.00 ea. We could have sold even more, but Casio completely sold out. I was amazed, and happily surprised by the results. (We made enough from those 2 ads to pay for the next 2 YEARS of advertising in HSD). It’s all about hitting your target market squarely on the head. Sterling Kaya > Hana Pa‘a Hawaii

Manufacturers
I firmly believe that advertising pays back. It is one of the best form of investment as long as you deliver what you promise in the ads. We are trying our best to keep the ratio Promise-Delivery at a high level. Since we started advertising on HSD we constantly receive calls for catalogs, questions about our product etc, from Hawaii. This shows that the ad is creating a certain interest and this is a good start. With the free catalogs the interest turns into a purchase and the cycle continues. Therefore the
answer to your question is: YES, advertising on HSD helps our business. I like to add that our ads are always of a great quality: lots of fun, good graphics and very informative. I think that we are doing a great job together. Eddie > OMER USA/Technosport

Entrepreneurs
I just wanted to say thank you for the GREAT feature story. I can’t tell you how much it helped with letting divers all over know about our Activ-Eye video systems. We have gotten tons of phone calls and email from it and have seen the number of hits on our web site go up. We love the look and how the photos and text were laid out. We don’t know how to thank you. Tony Ludovico > Activ-Eye Video systems
